Edit Reason: added not about wattage

Sorry, I don't have access to any regular Phantoms to compare to. The last pair I listened to was an original pair of silvers. I remember I would not have been interested in purchasing them due to poor treble so I can say the Reactor is an improvement for that reason.
I measured them with REW and they measure how I expect them to based on listening. Flat with a lift at the low end. I'll probably do some EQ to reduce the lift when listening to music. The graph shows treble starting to fall at 15k with a steeper decline from 18k on. My hearing starts to go at 15k so I can't really hear it. All music listening was with lossless CD rips, or Tidal, using Roon and optical.
I also connected via optical to my Oppo 203 and watched Blade Runner 2049. That was simply amazing.
The graph should be titled 600W not 500W. My bad.
